WOW, it's so heartening to see SOOOOOO much love for a veteran in the Daytime world. Stephen Nichols IS and always WILL BE Tucker McCall. I am a fan of William Russ, but I don't think he could have made Tucker the character he became under Stephen Nichols. I think it's a disgrace if they are bringing Tucker back that it won't be Stephen playing him considering he played out the bulk of Tucker's storyline and was accepted and lauded by the late Jeanne Cooper as THE Tucker McCall.
